Abstract

The present invention provides a heating system (1) for an inhaler device (30), such as an e-cigarette or a personal vaporizer, for generating an aerosol or a vapour from a liquid (L) to be heated, the system comprising at least one supply channel (3) for conveying a liquid to be heated from a supply reservoir (4) under capillary action or surface tension forces within the at least one channel (3), and heating means (10) arranged at or set in an outlet (6) of the at least one supply channel (3), and wherein the at least one supply channel (3) is formed in a body member (2) which is configured to extend from the supply reservoir (4) to a vapour chamber (35) in the inhaler device (30) from which the aerosol or vapour is inhaled and the supply channel (3) is configured as a capillary slot formed by plate elements (16).
